Wow that is right up there with birthers, and 911 conspiracy theorists.

If you said sometime around book 9 I might have believed you too. especially since sanderson only took over with book 9 and 10. You can tell by the sudden change in writing style and language use. Heck I could see it half way through book 9.

In America we have free speech. it is against the constitution for them to censor speech in such a way.

how would you like it if the phone company censored everything said across their networks? Just because the speaking medium(video, voice, text) is wholly owned by a company does not give that company the right to censor speech.

Now in practicality it is legal to do if it is known. I would expect children chat rooms to be moderated and censored too.

And just what vessels will deploy such sensors, and how many decades will it take to fully deploy such networks?

The Virginia class will be in use for many decades. Navy generally plans ship hulls for 30-50 years of active use. The enterprise cvn was in service for 50 years.

While such sensors may limit future sub combat options it is decades away. For one simple fact you still have to move attack assets into positions. Battleships disappeared due to two separate but equal reasons. The armor effectiveness/ weight versus gun size and firepower was drastically shifting in favor of the guns. And airplanes made those big honking guns worthless for antiship combat. As one or two bombs could still sink that battleship.

Sensors alone arent useful. You need weapons following those sensors. Those weapons can come from many sources but I bet sub's will be one of them.

except how do you trust known liars?(politicians ). You can't trust they are telling the truth. Take the description burned alive. I can take a lighter to your skin and hold it to your skin until it has burned you. Therefore you have been burned alive. How many myth buster episodes have something exploding when it just burned really fast?

Descriptions have multiple meanings. Without clear context that politicians never give you cant trust written words. Photos and videos provide clear proofs. And while it can be manipulated as well it is harder to do so.

Right and myth busters has hundreds of episodes where the myth is something exploded but in reality it just burned really fast. And getting it to explode is really really hard.

Descriptive words are very subjective and misleading. I can burn you alive by holding a lighter to your skin until you get a burn. It is descriptively the same meaning.

actually it isn't. some people only need 1,000 calories a day, others need 2,000 extremely active people need 3-5 thousand.

Eating less than a thousand calories a day actually makes you gain fat as your body stores it.

I run about 1,200 calories a day and I can barely maintain my weight. Yes that is two slices of toast for breakfast, a glass a milk. a 140 calories snack bar, and 140 calorie yogurt for lunch, and a healthy dinner of salads, and usually chicken, but I mix up the protein. Very rarely do i eat anything after dinner,

Figure out what to cut out of that. If I could figure out a way of inverting it and eat the big meal in the morning I might be better off but the timing sucks.
